Exporting Game File (Non-Commissioner)

To export your league file you must make sure you have the current, up to date, league file. If you do not have the current league file, you can still export, but it will not actually get uploaded to the server for your commissioner. Always make sure you have the latest league files before exporting.

Once a human manager has a copy of the league file, it can be opened like any OOTP saved game. A human manager makes changes to his team, after which he needs to export these changes so that the commissioner can apply them to his master copy of the game. Once a human manager has a copy of the league file, it can be opened like any OOTP saved game.
